Difference Between CEF & PTA

Ever wondered what the difference is between CEF and PTA?

John Baldwin’s PTA and CEF share a common goal—ensuring excellence in our children’s education. The organizations work closely with each other throughout the year to achieve that goal. Although they differ in their structure and focus, our community needs both organizations to ensure the continued quality of education we are accustomed to at John Baldwin. Both organizations are critical funding sources for our school to supplement state-funded public education.
